Left main coronary artery aneurysm: sealing by stent graft and long-term follow-up

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2000 Oct;51(2):205-9. doi: 10.1002/1522-726x(200010)51:2<205::aid-ccd16>3.0.co;2-5.

Abstract

We describe the implantation of a stent graft to seal off the left main coronary artery aneurysm of a 64-year-old man with guidance by intravascular ultrasound. The aneurysm was successfully sealed off. At 6-month and 1-year follow-up, a small residual aneurysm reappeared, which was treated conservatively. The technical issues in closing this aneurysm and the management of the residual aneurysm are discussed.
